My Philophobia G.D.

Kylie's POV.

It's cold, I have fever and Hailee is not here to take care of me like she always does when I'm sick. My face is pale, my nose red like Rudolph's ,my eyes have dark circles and they are heavy.
It is december 9th and I miss Hailee. It's been a whole week now and these memories keep on replaying in my mind. I only have the strength to use the remote to change songs or movies. I'm now listening to "young girls" by Bruno Mars...it is mine and Hailee's song...we used to sing it on the top of our laungs when we went to parties. She was 16 and we were dancing to it when his ex boyfriend kissed her for the first time. It was her first kiss and it looked like a moviee scene. It's not like tha song has lyrics that we can relate to,but it brings back so many  amazing memories. 

As I wish Hailee was here to sing that song for me, I fall asleep. I look at the hour on the tv before turning it off and closing my eyes.

12.00, it is officially monday.

I feel a hand caress my hair and somebody is next to me. My eyes slouly open and I recognise the feeling of sickness that I had for the past 3 days. I move my eyes to the side to see my best friend. She smiles at me...she looks like a princess. Her smile is shining,her eyes sparkling  like glitters,her skin is clean and pure like the flowers of the japanese Sakura. Everytime she comes out of her prison, it feels like she became a Sakura.

A japanese legend of hundreds of years ago tells that peace was a rare thing because of the wars between fiefdoms. It is told that there was a forest where war didn't ruin anything...there were still trees,perfumes of flowers and the nature was the only friend that the human beings had. No warrior dared to bring the war there because they didn't want to make that beautiful nature dissappear.
The only wrong thing in that magical place was a tree that looked dead like the rest of the city.
It was not dead though...it was just really sad and lonely because the war made it hard for it to  live with the flowers and plants it had around. Animals were afraid so they didn't get close to it, and grass didn't grow.

One day something changed: the fairy of the woods saw such lonlyness  and she couldn't accept it, she got closer to the tree, she talked to it and said that she wuold've cast a spell that wuold've lasted for 20 years. She wanted the tree to feel what human's hearts felt...maybe it wuold've been happy and it wuold've florished. She said that the tree could turn into a human and back into a plant again, but if in those years it wuoldn't have become alive, it wuold've died forever. 

The tree turned into a human, but he found just hate and war...that's why it always went back to being a plant. But something started to change : one day it decided to turn into a human being again and saw a beautiful girl walking in his world. He talked to her and they shared their dreams. Her name was Sakura. 

When Sakura asked him what his name was, the only name that came to his mind was "Yohiro"...it meant "hope". They got to be good friends and soon after they started to love eachother. One day Yohiro told Sakura how much he loved her, but he also told her who he really was. Sakura was shocked at the beginning and that's why she was silent and didn't say anything. The time was over and those 20 years came to an end. Yohiro turned into a tree again and both of them were really sad, but Sakura told him  how much she loved him...that's when the fairy came back and asked Sakura to choose between being a human or  turning into a tree, like Yohiro. She thought about what she wanted and about what she had been living with : war, hate and that's why she decided to turn into a tree with Yohiro.They both started their new life together and that dead tree turned into a beautiful flowerfall. 

The word Sakura means "cherry blossom" . Hailee is a cherry blossom because she lives those 20 years in only one week: she is Yohiro, her feelings create the war, her mansion is the city that has been destroyed by them and we are her unspoiled nature that she doesn't want to be destroyed by the rotten part of her soul that create the war.She lives the war and after a week she turns into a Sakura that covers the world with its pure colors. Just like a cherry blossom falls from its tree, she falls when her feelings are too hurtful to handle and waits for the good days to come.
